"Teen angst"? Oh come on. How about maybe considering that dysphoria is a function of a culture steeped in strict binary roles and transitioning is, for many people, a normal outcome in a non-judgmental society.

That's not what you said, though. You jumped straight to "suicide or transition" in the baldest way possible. You sounded like an extremist trans activist, not a clinician. It's not the way to engage ethically w/ people who you claim to be listening to.pic.twitter.com/V6nAotKnY1

And suicidality is a real mental health concern.

Absolutely it is. And suicidality is a sign of poor mental health in every case. The CDC, Samaritans, and every other public health organization states very clearly that promoting single cause/single cure for self harming behavior is unethical.

How is it "where we're at"? Where is the epidemic of middle school suicides prior to the age of pediatric social/medical transition? Have you ever considered the constant talk of suicide might contribute to suicide contagion, a known phenomenon? Below both from CDC.pic.twitter.com/37mdOQ3qgQ
